ZIP Code: Holiday cheer edition

If you’re behind on your local holiday shopping, as SFUnzipped is, you may want to check out the action in the Mission tonight, when the second annual block party means sales, specials, and hot and cold drinks and noshes at stores and galleries mostly on and around the Valencia and 16th Street corridors. Participating businesses include Paxton Gate, Candystore Collective, Therapy, Monk’s Kettle, Weston Wear and the Curiosity Shoppe. Check out GetLocalsf’s Google map to see where the action is.

Free; 5-10pm @ various locations in the Mission.

We CAN Care, with Santa/94123

The Union Street Association concludes its can drive Saturday with a visit from Santa, snow, live music and other surprises. There’s still time to receive discounts on purchases and freebies when you bring in cans. For instance, bring in 10 cans to Marmalade Boutique (2059 Union St.), and receive 20 percent off. Stop by Ottimista (1838 Union St.) with five cans and claim a glass of Prosecco. Then, at 1:30 p.m., Santa will be on the scene. Expect a few snow flurries around 2, or 4. Eventually, he’ll whisk the donations away to the San Francisco Food Bank.

Free; 1:30pm @ Metro Theater, 2055 Union St., SF.
